New collaborations/projects
Lys på Nordiske Tæper
Our association began a collaboration in 2025 with a Danish organisation, “Vævernes Hus,” located at Jyderups Gods in western Själland.
In 2026 they will create a travelling exhibition called “Light on Nordic Carpets.” The exhibition will premiere at Rydals Museum in connection with Weaving trail on May 7, 2026. We are working together to create a strong program with many activities during the summer of 2026.
The exhibition will run until September 20, after which it will continue on to Nykøbing (DK).

BeCultour
The association collaborates with Rydal's museum in a major EU project called Be.CULTOUR that also includes Forsvik's mill. The Swedish part of the project is run by the Administration for Cultural Development at the Västra Götaland region and aims to develop the places with tourist potential with sustainability in mind and with new ways of cooperation. The project started on March 1, 2021. We have now completed several workshops/seminars and are working to, in collaboration with many, produce a local development plan. The Be.CULTOUR project will end in the summer of 2024. The final report.
